Imaging a table overflowing with freshly grilled meats, dozens of tiny bowls filled with different pickles and sauces, and dishes of heaping warm rice.

Sounds like a wonderful way to taste the flavors around the world! I haven’t heard of Taste the World- it’s a great idea! There are foods that would be wonderful to try but I wouldn’t even know what to buy or where to start. This sounds perfect for someone wanting to expand their palette!
These seems a nice product. But I don’t think so that I’ll get this product at my place. I am really excited for this father’s day. thanks for giving good ideas. 🙂
i love kimchies,i love ramen and the side dishes. they are all delicious and fresh!
I love trying new recipes and new foods from different cultures. It helps make me feel connected to the world and more conscious about the things around me. All these look yum, btw.
This sounds like an amazing way to try different things from around the world, it always amazes me how tastes different from country to country.
I keep hearing great things about Try the World. I have yet to try the subscription service out but might sometime in the near future. The coupon is awesome!
I’ve never tried Korean food before. It always sounds super delicious though. I will have to give it a go one day soon!!

Never knew so much about korean food. I have to try it out now.
Definitely love the sound of this subscription box! I love cooking and trying new things. Thank you for sharing this!
I think I would have to ask my in-laws what they thought about the box. They are all korean and would know.
Oh, how I miss Korea and its cuisine! I love doenjang, too! Can’t have samgyeopsal without it! 🙂
These seem like something my hubby would love to try!
That’s really neat that it’s such a specific box. What a lot of fun. It looks like it was full of great things!
This is an awesome gift idea for Father’s Day. My husband loves food and I’m sure that he’ll drool over this.
With the above stated Korean cuisine, I am only familiar with sesame oil.
I love trying new foods. I have not tried Korean food before, but you described it so well that I will have to try it. For a subscription box, the price isn’t bad.
I love Korean food! Especially their infamous Samgyeopsal! Korean dishes involve seasonings to accentuate the flavour so I do recommend it for those who haven’t tried it yet!
I love this concept of mixing a little bit of everything. Plus going through the box and seeing all the different items is exciting.
I hadn’t eaten much Koran cooking, that is until we moved to our current neighborhood. Right next door is the loveliest Korean woman and I tell you what, she cooks some pretty incredible meals. The funniest part? She cooks most everything in the garage because she doesn’t like the smell in the house. So whenever we go over for dinner she’ll say “let me grab the slow cooker from outside” She makes me smile every time!
Awesome! I’ve never tried Korean food. What would you suggest for a newbie?
Oh my soul what a wonderful idea. We’ve subscribed to Beers of the World a few years ago and we loved it. It was always so exciting waiting for the next package to arrive. I can just imagine how much fun we’ll have hosting dinner parties using the ingredients and recipes in the World of Taste. Thanks so much
I love Korean flavors because their food tastes so fresh and they definitely love their spicy food. This box would be a lovely treat!
The only thing I have tried from Korea is their face masks which are simply awesome! I have not tried their food but I am sure that will be awesome too!
This looks so good! I love trying food from all over the world!
I am really looking forward to visiting Korea, for the food, culture, and shopping. My daughter is in love with Korea and Japan. She thinks they have the best food ever!
I’ve always enjoyed Korean cuisine! Thanks for shining a light on the most fundamental ingredients and this Korea Box option.
Oooh I love food boxes! This company sadly doesn’t operate in my country but I do live near a Korean supermarket, which I will visit soon 🙂
I don’t think I have eaten Korean before. I love trying new foods though so would be keen!
Wow what a detailed list of shopping in Korea. Looks like a great variety of Asian food and food lovers will love this.
Love this idea of food being delivered to my door but as a wrapped up box and not a take away. I’m not that familiar with Korean Cuisine but would love the opportunity to experience some. These food items look delicious.
I tried bulgogi for the first time a few weeks ago and I loved it! I’m looking forward to experimenting with some new recipes!
Very interesting subscription service, thanks for sharing. My favorite Korean dish is bibimbap bowls, though sometimes it can be hard to find the right ingredients in the US. This might help with that.
I have never tried but I am super excited to try it now!
I don’t have much experience with Korean food but that will be changing soon. I have always wanted to try Kim Chi and I am excited about this box too x
I can now update on this Korean situation. I have finally tried Kimchi and oh my god it is so incredible. I really loved it so much x
It is an acquired taste and, while some can’t stand the smell, it is truly a delicious experience. I love it and cook with it often. We run a global kitchen in my household. 🙂
Korean food , I never tried it . I tried Indian food , Thai , Japan , Lebanese but I should consider tried another authentic food which is the test of Korea .
By the way Happy father’s day
never been there, but your post makes it closer to me than ever, i like the post and images used too, such rich culture and history.
I have never tried Korean cuisine, it’s not a country I have ever visited and as far as I am aware there are no Korean restaurants around our area. I love trying world foods though and this all looks great!
I love Asian food, so I guess I would love this, a box like this is a great way to try something new.
Great article – thanks 🙂 I keep meaning to try Kimchi – it sounds delicious. Later on this month, we will be doing the spicy Ramen challenge, so we may do some Kimchi at the same time!!
My husband and I both lived in Korea and we do miss the foods there! Sadly, Korean products are too expensive in the UK. I think this is a good deal. I will discuss this with my husband. Good to know there’s also a discount from this post! Yey!
Korean food sounds better than Chinese, but what am so loving here is that I´ve never heard of this brilliant idea with Try The World! Am thinking the 3-6 month subscription will make the excellent gift voucher for my friend who loves international cuisine but hates flying. (Rather has a phobia). Wonder if they do wine? Off to their website already. Thanks for sharing this cool post. Worth subscribing to your blog updates.
I used to work on Korea Way here in NYC and my daughter was very much into Korean pop. I love the beautiful culture and the delicious food.
I LOVE Try The World! We got a subscription as a gift for Christmas last year and it’s so much fun to get the boxes every month. We haven’t gotten Korea yet but I hope it’s coming up soon!
I’ve never been to Korea, or tried Korean food (to my knowledge), but I’d love to go one day! x
This is one of the best boxes I’ve seen from Try the World! Oh I love Korean cuisine and all its spicy goodness.! I love Asian food, and this subscription box would have been a very welcome treat for me. I think now is the right time to sign up!
Mmmmm this food looks soooo good! I love Korean food and Asian food in general because it’s simply delicious. YUM!
I love korean food and luckily in my Malaysia we could easily get them.
Nice review. Will definitely be checking their website to see what else do they have. Very interesting!
I have to agree that Korean food is always packed with flavors. I love how they season their dishes and liberal use of fresh vegetables.

The subscription box looks great. It’s a lovely way to try new food. I didn’t know that they had them for Korean food.
My best friend sent me a box of goodies from Korea and I can’t wait to receive it! I’m looking forward to the tastes and interesting packaging.
I love Korean food and had no idea this box was a thing! This would make a great gift for my friend who loves to travel.
Yum! My husband and I made it a goal to try a new culture’s food every month. You’ve inspired me to have next month be Korea!
You got me all excited about the Korea box but it’s sold out. Curse my luck it all looks so delicious. =(
Now this is our type of subscription box! As a family of foodies, exploring the world via cuisine in the comfort of our own home sounds like a dream come true.
I love trying different products from around the world. Subscription boxes make a great gift that keeps on giving all year.
Ok so i haven’t tried any Korean cusien yet !! but it looks interesting !! Thanks for sharing discount code !! will search to see what i need for myself
I’ve never tried Korean food and I feel like this could be a great place to start! And the prices are quite reasonable as well!
Wow, I’ve never heard of this goodie box here! Definitely going to check it out because after seeing the products you got in your Korea version, I’d love to see what else they have to offer! Thanks for sharing!
They have alot… check it out.
Korean food is so good, and the packages look super cool! Definitely looking into these boxes as finding good quality Korean ingredients where I live is quite a task!
Give it a try!
My boyfriend has been really into making Korean food at home lately. I’m going to have to look into getting him this box to save ourselves all the trips to the specialty grocery store!
He’d love it too.
This is pretty cool. My husband is Korean and I am almost positive his mother, my MIL, will love this. Thanks for sharing.
Great. Get her a gift of one.
This is cool! A lot of these products are a touch hard to find where I live. I’d try a lot more recipes if I had easier access to the materials! Thank you for sharing!
You can substitute items you like… 🙂
I have few Korean friends and I loved their cuisine! I love veggies and Korean cuisine has some amazing vegetarian recipes like Kimbap, Pajeon and Japchae!
This is actually pretty cool and I agree it makes a really cool gift for fathers day. I was a bit confused about the prices, but i am assuming you meant is $33 a month for a year? not just $33 for the entire year?
Yes, $33 a month
I love cooking at home and trying new foods from around the world so this box sounds like something that would really suit me. Thank you for the great review. I might just have to try this out as well.
Thank you for the feedback. I value your comment.
I’ve definitely been eyeing the Try The World boxes. This one sounds and looks tasty, wish I would’ve jumped on sooner.
Oh wow this box looks fantastic! I keep wanting to try this subscription service but you just made me want to get one. I love Korean foods and snacks so bummed I missed this one.
I have been in love with Korean food for God knows how long. It’s so sad to see these services limited to one location. I tried getting it in Alpharetta but they weren’t delivering then. So going to try again.
Let me know if you receive it. Thank you!
I need to start my subscription Try the World. I used to love the surprises and recipes that I could come up with after I got the box each month.
What a great box to try. I don’t think I’ve ever had any Korean food before, but I’m grateful for the 20% off to try this subscription box.
Give it a try when you can. 🙂
MMMMM.. Kimichie! I love Korean Food and this would be a wonderful gift for anyone who loves international food. I am not sure I would get it for my husband because I would just end up cooking it LOL. Thank you for sharing
I have a family member from Korea and I will have to tell her about this. It all looks so yummy!
I think this is a super great gift for those who want to travel and learn more about different cultures but might not be able to at this moment in time. I think the surprise each month would be a fun bonus as well.
A lot of my friends are Korean and they make me the best food! Personally I’m a fan of cold noodles 🙂
Can you believe there are only a handful of Korean restaurants in my city? I think its time to try some korean cooking of my own!
Omg I just love these boxes, they’re incredible. I literally squeal when I saw there was kimchi…its like one of my fav things in the world. yum!
I love this site! I’m your new follower.. I love the idea of bringing foods, things even experience from different places to pages. And what you’ve just posted looks really yummy!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
This actually looks pretty awesome! I love my Mexican food but it’s always bought. I would love to cook my own and trying the Korea Box will be really useful!
I agree… try it.
I have never really gotten to experience Korean food but I definitely want to! I have heard of Kimchi but never really knew what it was. I do however use sesame oil in a lot of my Filipino or Chinese dishes.
I think Taste around the world sounds like an amazing gift to give someone… a way to let them try so many tastes and delicious ideas…
I loved trying foods from the different country I visited. Korea is on my bucket list for our next travel visit. We would definitely try like those Korean Foods.
Sounds like you got some awesome items from this month’s subscription. I really am curious about the flavors of Korea. I’ve always been interested, but so far all I’m able to taste is their barbecue and their kimchi.
My mom will love this post! She loves everything Korean! As for me, I’ve only started appreciating their food recently and I must admit, they’re not bad. They’re very tasty even. Maybe just a bit pricey for my budget but very well worth it. <3
Some of our foods here are inspired too with Mexican touch. Would love to try dining out in some Mexican resto.
Uhmm I would ask my mom to send me those goodies from Korea. I would love to taste them.
I absolutely love foreign cuisine. I make Korean beef as often as I can. I’m also teaching my kids to love new things. I think everyone can benefit from it.
I read the Taste of Mexico not to long ago and I love this concept. Like I said before it allows those unable to travel to be able to experience different cultures from around the world. I also think the pricing is very reasonable given how much thy provide you
This looks like such and awesome box. I would love to taste food from all over the world.
everything looks absolutly tasty!!! I would try it!
This is an amazing way to taste the cuisine’s around the world. I love Korean food, I always look for the best place to have Korean food which is not very easy. I will check this subscription box.
This subscription box looks like a fantastic way to experiment with various Korean cuisine flavors! Korean food is increasing in popularity; this is a great way to try some new recipes!
I’m going to share this with my mom. She’s a fan of Korean culture and language so much that she learnt the language as well.
Korean food is one of my favourite meal and I can just go there to eat kimchi it is so irresistible.
My husband lived in Korea for 2 years. I’m going to have to show them this. He will love it!
KIMCHI!!!!!! OMG I can’t tell you how much I love kimchi! I found it about two years ago at an asian fusion restaurant and I was never the same again! It’s just the greatest tasting side dish there is <3
I have always been fascinated by other cuisines but I have never tried Korean food before. I would love to try kimchi, it is so famous as being delicious and never missing from a Korean meal.
I’m not a huge fan of Korean food, but I really think the packaging of each item is very nice! I know a lot of friends who are crazy for Koran food. They would love this!
I would love to try these!! I need to order this for me and my brother, he’s a big fan of their cuisine! Thanks for sharing it with us!
I`m very interested in Korean culture, K-pop and K-dramas which is why I`m quite familiar with most of the common things they eat. I haven`t tried much Korean foods, but I really liked Bibimbap.
